In Windows XP Professional, there is a way to set folder permissions for specific users or groups in order to protect your shared files.
- Change the default setting by going to your Control Panel and opening Folder Options.
- Click the View tab. Scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings list and clear the box next to Use simple file sharing (Recommended).
- Next, set folder permissions by right clicking on the folder you want to share, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab, and assign or deny permissions, such as Full Control, Modify, Read, and/or Write, to specific users.
Note: This works only on drives formatted to use NTFS. Windows XP uses this file system by default.
